A man has been sentenced to almost a century behind bars for a 2021 incident in which he shot at four Pueblo Police officers as they were responding to a menacing call.

44-year-old James Justice was found guilty in July of several charges, including four counts of attempted first-degree murder after he fired shots at officers in January of 2021 on the northside of Pueblo near Elizabeth Street.

According to the Pueblo Police Department (PPD), Justice initially shot at one officer and then ran from police to a nearby mobile home park where he shot at three more officers. None of the officers were injured. Justice was eventually taken into custody inside the mobile home park. PPD said he has been in the Pueblo County Jail since his arrest in January 2021.
